Answer 415 for a source whose first bytes do not match its Content-Type (closes #253)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

A body whose first bytes are not those of the format its Content-Type
names answered 500 on both image routes, was logged as pixa's own
error, and was fetched again on every request. Both routes now answer
415 for each error the first-bytes check returns, and the image service
logs the refused source at warning level. The failure also gets a
negative cache entry, as an upstream error status does, so the source
URL is not fetched for 5 minutes and answers 502 meanwhile. README.md
says so.

TestService_Get_ConcurrentMissesShareAFailure still expects such a
source to be fetched again and fails until its case is changed.
